65 pending office actions • 4 clients • 64 examiners • 57 art units • 8 of 65 (12%) have an AI response strategy ready
This profile covers Networking & Security and includes 116 pending office actions. Its career record contains 16171 applications, and the resolved allowance rate is 94.07%. The data describes a substantial historical application base alongside an active docket.
The average of 3.58 office actions per allowance provides a separate measure of prosecution effort. Practitioners can use the allowance rate to assess resolved outcomes and the office-action average to anticipate interaction with the Office, while treating the pending docket as a current workload measure rather than as part of the historical rate.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 8 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 8 (12%) |
| §103 only | 25 (38%) |
| §102 only | 4 (6%) |
